What Airbus a340 would you recommend??

Hi: Im looking for an Airbus a 340, payware or freeware. What of them sould be the best for FSX Steam ?

Thanks for help.

kiri.

I'd say that the Thomas Ruth A340 (freeware, probably best to download from Rikoooo and get a self installing EXE) is enough.

 

There are the Wilco and CLS A340, both payware, but they're not worth the money, and are both nowhere near the real thing.

I would agree, the freeware Thomas Ruth A340s are very good & is available in A340-200,300,500 & 600 models, there are also lots of repaints for them, so you should be able to find textures for your favourite airline.

But compared to a payware as wilco, Thomas Ruth A340s is really poor.

 

and wilco products are not that expensive.

The MCP in the Wilco A340 VC is 2d (flat, not buttons that actually stick out of the glareshield).

 

Even in the freeware Thomas Ruth A340, the buttons are actually 3d ones in the VC, and not a 2d panel just stuck into the VC.

There is one more product, BBS A340, but I have nothing further to tell you about it.

Who cares about 3d buttons when the aircraft is far from accurate.

 

I downloaded that thomas ruth plane, and after 5 mins flying i trashed it like any

useless PC file.

I also had that thomas ruth plane.

got rid of it days after.

Nothing better than a payware, but i would recommend PMDG.

OK Guys. Thanks for all info. I have just read that there is a new A340 from AFS.

omg, dont, is total crap

You're going to pay $30 for a product that is inferior to the Tomas Ruth freeware model? AFS model also doesn't employ any of the Airbus logic. If you want to fly an A340 with reasonable system modeling, you have 2 choices, Wilco''s Series 2 and the BBS rendition. The latter is an incomplete product and the former was first released over 8 years ago (updated 5 years ago). Honestly, currently, none on the payware A340 are worth the pice. Nevertheless, If you truly want one, do your research and chose between BBS and wilco. Don't waste your time with AFS, the freeware model is far superior. Good luck!

I brought the overland A340 not to long ago, didn't like it at all, uses MSFS database for FMC :(. Not bad model, though now switched to Thomas Ruth A340 and use GPS tracking and manually land (Good Practice :D). I'm still awaiting for Aerosoft's version of the A330, wish they would do A340, that would be superb!!. AFS is total junk, Wilco hit and miss and BBS didn't like inside model awful :(.
